This study programme is only available in German.

The students will be enabled to reflect academically on the German language and its cultural, communicative, media, and literary and artistic means of expression. In literature studies and linguistics this includes the knowledge of historical and current processes of language as a system and a cultural means of expression. It also includes an understanding of the intercultural, interlingual and intermedia relationships distinguishing language and literature in history and in the present. Students will analyse texts using methods from linguistics and literary studies and gain an insight into the subject areas of the theory, systemics and history of language, and the various aesthetic appearances and functions of literature in their cultural, media, culture-historical and literary-historical context.
